A VAST HOUSE in Bushypark, two miles from Galway city centre, has plenty of large glass windows giving lots of views out over Lough Corrib and Glenlo Abbey.

Known as Camelot, the newly-built five-bedroom house measures 631sq m (6,800sq ft), and is wired for all sorts of sound, vision and security. There is also a central vacuum system and underfloor heating throughout.

The large entrance hall of the house, designed by Tom Walshe and Associates, has a marble floor and staircase to a gallery landing.

The layout of the house gives it east and west wings and in the latter, on the ground floor, is a 93sq m (1,000sq ft) open-plan kitchen and dining area, tiled in Spanish marble, with huge windows. There is a €50,000 allowance to kit out the kitchen, which has a toilet, utility and laundry room off it. Also beside the kitchen is the main bathroom with free-standing bath and rain shower.

In the west wing there is a sittingroom with a walnut floor and a large en suite bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe.

Upstairs are four large bedrooms three of which have en suites with double rain showers. Three of them also have walk-in wardrobes and two have separate study areas. They all have oak floors and recessed lighting.

One of the en suites has a steam and sauna area and Jacuzzi.

The bedroom at the west end has a wraparound balcony from which, on a clear day, you can see Croagh Patrick.
